The Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted USC and its decision to change the role of student evaluations in its tenure and promotion decisions. Research has shown that female and minority instructors are often subject to bias in student evaluations and USC is working to develop a new evaluation that focuses on student engagement and outcomes, according to USC Provost Michael Quick. "The idea is to examine teaching from multiple vantage points to evaluate it in a more comprehensive way," said Ginger Clark of the USC Rossier School's Center for Excellence in Teaching. Inside Higher Ed also mentioned the change.
